Active Listening

We are learning about different types of listening. There are 3 main types of listening that we learnt about. Busy Listening - When the person listening is busy doing something. They are too busy to concentrate on what is being said. Me Too Listening - When the person listening has a story that they feel is more important than the person talking so they interrupt and share their story instead of listening. Active Listening - When the person listening looks at the person talking, concentrates, gives non-verbal feedback (e.g. nodding) and asks questions about the story. To learn about the different types of listening, we watched this video:

 

 As a class we created our own video to help us understand the different types.
After practising each type of listening, we realised…

• Busy listening makes us feel like you’re not listening to us. We found it really hard to keep talking. 
• Me too listening makes us feel frustrated and sad that you think your story is more important. 
• Active listening makes us feel valued. We know you are listening because you are looking, nodding, asking questions. 

 As a class we are all trying to get better at being active listeners.

Maths

I am learning how I can use animal strips in an array to help me solve multiplication questions.

ReflectionI think maths is really easy with the strips. we've made a video with us doing it.

Music - Hailstones

In music with Jenny we are learning to play in a band. We are all learning different instruments and we are working on our rhythm. Check out our videos:

My Reflection:

In music we've done a poem its called hailstones. We used drums a clave and rattles.

Swimming goal

                        my goal is to keep my arms and legs straight. I do not think i have achieved my goal yet.
But I think i was close.
After this goal my next one will be roll up to breath.

swimming sports

On tuesday the school went to the lido for swimming sports. When we got there we all got changed and waited in our house groups. First we did the width it was y6 the y5 y4/3. After all that it was all the lengths. I did all three backstroke breaststroke freestyle. I didn't get in the finals though. afterwards we went to the esplanade but I couldn't play because I didn't have a hat.
